Now the Americans are doing something about looters - http://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/2003/04/25/367175.html - stripping them naked and writing "Ali Baba - thief" on their chest. This is how we demonstrate the superiority of our civilisation and society. And then we wonder why they want us out. -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum

In reply to: William 's message, "This says it all: "He (Fisk) then added ominously, "And the Americans did nothing." That is the whole story, isn't it? It is all about America. The Iraqis were being thugs and destructive but it was the Americans who are to be blamed. Right! America is always the one to blame! Notice that it was Iraqis who were filmed looting and pilaging, burning and trashing. Of course we must not say "The Iraqis were trashing their own country; trashing their own libraries; trashing their own hospitals; trashing their own museums, etc." Don't say that. Blame the US instead." on 19:40:31 04/20/03 Sun

[> [> [> ***Sorry, I cannot find a translator for that page. The Dutch translator didnlt work. Is it Finnish or Norwegian? In either case, please provide a way to translate to English or nothing can be learned. I tried several translators but do not have time to make this a project. -- SG, 15:30:24 04/28/03 Mon (pcp01422563pcs.lndsd201.pa.comcast.net/68.81.153.209)

[> [> [> P.S. The pictures look mighty suspicious. The chest writing is in Arabic. Not very many of our soldiers can speak or wirte Arabic. To what end? Seems totally alien. More propaganda? This makes no sense. Especially since the pictures do not seem to show the soldiers confining anyone. -- SG, 15:37:34 04/28/03 Mon (pcp01422563pcs.lndsd201.pa.comcast.net/68.81.153.209)
